Scent Depot Score™

6.3/10

Good

Worth consideringA green-citrus opening (mandarin, bitter orange, bergamot with ivy/sage) moves into a light fresh-spicy heart (pepper, nutmeg, cardamom, jasmine) and dries down to soft sandalwood and clean musk with a faint mossy touch. Performance is modest (often 1–4 hours) with close sillage, making it an unobtrusive daytime wear.

More Information

Key strengths

Very safe, office- and gym-friendly fresh profile with no rough edges after the opening.
Budget pricing and easy availability make it strong value per ml.
Smooth, clean dry-down suited to warm weather and frequent reapplication.

Things to know

You need long wear or strong projection; reports frequently cite short longevity and soft trail.
You dislike simple, ‘clean/soapy’ fresh profiles often compared to CK One/Chrome.
You prefer premium-feel presentation; some users dislike the bottle/atomizer.
